The six car companies that you might never have guessed one of the oldest car manufacturers in the world each year crossed the 100 mark, which makes them worthy of a birthday shout-out on the morning news.
Like many of the oldest car manufacturers, when Opel was opened in Germany in 1863, he wasn t built cars was at that time Opel made sewing machines and bicycles, and then, in 1899 , began building auto While the family-owned company learned how to build these infernal machines, they partnered with companies like Darracq from France, which builds cars in 1902, Opel was confident enough to its debut his own car at the Hamburg Fair, but not so confident that he abandoned the machine company sewing this bold step wouldn t come until the whole plant burned; Opel Rebuilt when they decided to produce only cars from there in 1913, they were the largest car manufacturer in Germany, and in 1930 they made more cars than anyone else in Europe with a little help their new friends at GM.
In an industry filled with dreamers, embers and fierce family pride, Fiat is somewhat an exception was founded in 1899 and not by a man with a vision, not by a humble Italian engineer with more courage than business smarts that was determined to do against all odds, but rather by a board wielding sexy power of a company charter and in Latin fiat means that this be done, that strident, but not dyed t your gown for the party yet the name is an acronym derived from the Charter Società Anonima Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino SA FIAT now they have Chrysler, so do not neglect the look of a charter.
